O praise the Lord
Sleep all my joys
Who hath a human soul
Sitting once rapt with delight
'Tis but a frown
Look on me ever
Old poets that in Cupid's hand
Thus san Orpheus
When first I saw thee
End now my life
Farewell once my delight
In Celia's face
Love in thy youth
Hail, Cloris, hail
Young Thiris lay
Thy face and eyes
I saw fair Cloris walk alone
Like the rash and giddy fly
Wake, sorrow, wake
